Broken

- Reviews -

Jenny Lawson is extremely funny because she is extremely honest. Lawson' s relentless pursuit of authenticity is the source of the darkly hilarious prose found within this memoir of depression; a memoir that is unexpectedly inspiring and comforting but not unexpectedly endearing. Because to read Jenny Lawson is to love Jenny Lawson -- Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors I consider Jenny Lawson to be a therapist colleague-not because she' s a fellow clinician, but because in courageously sharing the truth of her story, she makes us feel instantly seen and fully understood in all of our alternately painful and hilarious humanity -- Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone Her delivery is zany, clever, and raunchy. Her conversations with party guests, her long-suffering husband, her sister, and even herself are flat-out hilarious. And the situations she finds herself in are comic gold. Beneath the banter, however, is a heartbreaking chronicle of what goes on in the mind of a person dealing with anxiety and depression * Booklist (Starred Review) * Jenny Lawson' s Broken is an adventure in courage. The vulnerability, the heart, and the candor is a gift to anyone who has ever felt too different. Life is sometimes not kind to us and Jenny uses such fierce humor -- Luvvie Ajayi Jones, author of New York Times bestseller I' m Judging You Jenny Lawson' s laugh-out-loud book of essays is all about "true stories of fucking up in incredibly human ways," with a few serious and insightful sections on mental health thrown in for balance. Oh, and there' s a chapter specifically dedicated to dog penises. So. There' s that * Mandatory * The ever-entertaining Lawson is back with a series of unflinching and hilarious essays addressing mental illness, living with chronic health conditions, and the absurdities of life and dealing with health insurance companies * Publishers Weekly, ' The Most Anticipated Books of 2021' *
